Interactive medical information display system and method for displaying user-definable patient events
First Claim
1. In a medical information system comprising a patient monitoring device for acquiring physiological parameters from a patient, a computer system for processing the physiological parameters acquired from the patient to provide medical information and a display unit for displaying said medical information to a user, a method for identifying and displaying events wherein said medical information system executes steps comprising:
- establishing an event associated with the patient, said event being defined by a user in an event definition language, said event including an event definition which defines the event as having an occurrence when one or more of said physiological parameters meets a prescribed condition;
acquiring said physiological parameters in real time;
monitoring the acquired physiological parameters for occurrences of said event; and
informing the user of the occurrences of said event.

Abstract
An interactive medical information display system and method for displaying user-definable patient events is provided. The system includes a mechanism for acquiring physiological parameters from a patient and a mechanism for storing the parameters in a real-time database. In addition, the system includes a mechanism for users to define event types in an event defintion language and a mechanism for users to modify existing event types. Users then select a set of event types for display, and an event generator accesses the database to monitor the physiological parameters in order to detect event occurrences as defined by the event types. A display mechanism displays the event occurrences and provides users with the ability to select event occurrences randomly or sequentially. Upon selection, other information is displayed.
